bezel loose
i have a 6 yo omega seamaster ref: 2055.80.00 - caliber 1120a great watch that is my daily wearer but i am having a small problem in that the uni-directional bezel will sometimes become a bi-directional bezel.there is also a small amount of movement if i put my fingers at 12 and 6 o'clock and push back and forth.while it is not a major problem, i was wondering if this is common or if anyone has had a similar situation. thanks and happy fathers day to all the dads out there.

The sun and the cold
Hi All,I am confined to the house today because I have a pretty impressive cold (man flu?).Just to make me feel even sorrier for myself the sun is shining gloriously outside so I should be out motorcycling or mountain biking or mowing the lawns or any one of the other things I enjoy doing of a weekend.However, just to make the best of a bad situation I thought "Things always look better in sunlight". So here are a few shots I took of my humble Omega collection with the sun streaming through the kitchen window.I hope you enjoy. It made me feel a little better anyway. So it was worth the effort.

A step-by-step digital 3D art project
Like some of you I'm taken with the clever and audacious design of BRM watches. I like complex looking things with loads of tiny details and realize that they're more fashion than usable watch, but dayum, they're cool!So after seeing some decent photos of the CT-48 model:I decided to give it a go in 3D and create another step-by-step for WTF readers.This one, due to it's complexity and need for precision was begun using CAD tools (AutoCad and Inventor).Here's how it starts out with just a 2D line work layout using different layers for managing the separate parts.More details are added and some are left out as they'll be easier to create in other applications.Using the line work as a guide, and a source for creating extrusions and profiles, the 3D shapes are constructed.After about 8 hours, the watch is "completely" modeled. I only model the parts that show in a finished illustration, If you don't see it, I didn't model it. No reason to spent the effort and then have the extra data over

Watch Compliments
I am 54 years old and since the age of 12 or 13 I have owned multiple watches.The older I got the more varied and high(er) end my watches got.I like to think that I have a relatively diverse collection.But in all this time I believe that I have gotten less than 3 actual "compliments" and perhaps a shade more "comments" on any watch.Maybe it's because my watches are boring,or I wear long sleeves in the winter and beaters in the warmer "short sleeve" months, or I an generally unapproachable.So I ask the membership who have recieved these compliments-what was said??My daughter in law said of my Hammie Khaki Aviation-"Wow that's a big watch"In an AD a guy saw my Sinn U1 and said "That looks like a good watch,what kind is it?"Are these compliments or comments??Maybe it has to do with ones work environment as the majority of people I deal with are not WIS types.

Very Nice!
well, new one at home, really love it.
